How YourCA works, step by step.

How do I get my deadlines into my phone calendar?

  1. Open the Calendar tab and press Subscribe, between Filter and Export dates at the top right.
  2. Subscribe and Export dates are also on a phone. Your calendar link opens above the month.
  3. Press Make my link. The address shows once, with Copy link, Add to Google Calendar and Add to Apple or Outlook under it.
  4. The two Add presses give the link to that calendar.
  5. Under them, How to add it to lists the steps for Google Calendar, Outlook, an iPhone or a Mac. Pick yours and follow them.
  6. Your calendar then gets the dates again automatically.
  7. Apple and Outlook are asked to do this every six hours. Google does it on its own schedule, which can be up to a day.
  8. The link carries every job you are on, whichever job is open when you make it. It carries only what your role can see on the Calendar tab.
  9. If you are taken off a job, or your role loses a register, that job or register leaves the link at the next update. The practice job is never in it.
  10. YourCA keeps a fingerprint of the address, not the address itself. So the address shows only when you make it.
  11. To add it somewhere else later, press Make a new link. The old link stops working immediately. Add the new link to every calendar that used the old one.
  12. Turn off stops the link immediately.
  13. The dates already in your calendar stay there until you remove the calendar from it.
Worth knowing

Anyone with the address can read these dates without signing in. Keep it private. If it went somewhere it should not, make a new one. The demonstration account shows a sample address that no calendar can read, and it cannot make a real one.
